March 2016 Newsletter

March, 2016 Dear Neighbor: As predicted, after a slower last half of 2015, the market picked right up after the first of the year.  2 reasons:   one is that it normally does this, since people put off buying and selling over the holidays, then hit the market right after the New Year; the other reason is that the pundits who claim to understand these things predicted that interest rates were finally going to go up, so buyers didn’t want to miss that. ...Continue Reading!

September, 2015 Dear Neighbor: In my last letter, I mentioned that the market was showing signs of slowing after almost 2 years of frenetic activity.  It has, and there are now roughly twice the number of homes for sale in Palos Verdes as there were a year ago, although the number then was about the lowest I can remember in my 31 years in this business.  As usual, when this happens without any outside event, I suspect that an affordability threshold has...Continue Reading!

Stale Listings

My clients lately have gotten my "Stale Listing" speech, which goes like this:  the market has been going bananas for about 18 months.  Whenever this happens, the idea seems to settle in that a seller can pretty much name his price and buyers will beat a path to his door.  There is no shortage of current examples.  If this isn't a sure sign that the market is about to slow down, it certainly contributes to it.  Buyers look at the "comps"...Continue Reading!
